“My friend Sydney helped my puppy Xena learn “go to spot” and practice her “heel” outside. She was patient and rewarded Xena with her favorite treats to help make training easy for her. She did not push her past her limit and left room for her to make the right choice! I would highly recommend Sydney if you’re looking to get your pup trained by someone seasoned and experienced, she is so caring, genuine and just overall wonderful to work with!”
“Joanne is fantastic! She clearly knows dogs and connected with our dog within minutes. She was very friendly and gave us clear advice and instructions for training our new pup. We highly recommend her!”
“We had such a great experience working with Kathleen! She gave us incredibly helpful and practical tips for potty training, separation anxiety, and leash walking. The strategies were easy to implement and made a noticeable difference for our pup. Her office hours were especially helpful - being able to check in, ask questions, and tweak things as we went along made the whole process much less stressful. Highly recommend for anyone looking for thoughtful, effective dog training guidance!”
“Danny was very knowledgeable and helped me see the world from my dog’s perspective. I had been doing group training classes and it felt like I wasn’t making progress, one-on-one training with Danny gave me the tools I needed to move forward. He made me realize that I was accidentally encouraging the behaviors I was trying to eliminate. Just 2 sessions with Danny has made my life with my dog so much more enjoyable!”
“Bill was AMAZING with Yogi! We’re so thankful to have found him! Yogi was having a hard time adjusting after our move and had become reactive to dogs and people. We finally feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel because yogi is so much more confident and comfortable and was even able to walk past another dog without barking. Thank you, Bill!”
“Jade is an extremely reliable, talented, and natural dog trainer. We have worked with Jade since our dog Bruno was a puppy. Bruno is an anxious pup, and he immediately took to Jade, which is rare! She always treats Bruno with kindness and has incredible patience in helping him become more confident and obedient. Jade also took the time to teach us how to best support Bruno, helping us become better dog parents. We can't recommend Jade enough!”

“Stacy has been amazing to work with! She’s incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about the dogs she works with. Xena absolutely loves her, and we’ve seen so much growth in her confidence. One of the biggest things for me is how much I can trust her. Knowing Xena is happy, safe, and in such good hands gives me peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend Stacy to anyone looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about both dogs and their owners!”

“We rescued Sully when he was 4 months old Immediately it appeared he had reactive behavioral issues stemming from his previous environment Dory worked as Sully's personal trainer & within 3 months he was a different dog She taught him agility & guided him through successful days at day camp Initially I was very concerned Sully may not be the right fit for our family, but Dory made me feel comfortable & confident with her training techniques.

“Cara was awesome! She provided us with a wealth of information and tools to help us with our pup Cody. She handled him extremely well and he responded to all her methods in just one session.

Dog Training FAQs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
Trainers listing on Rover must be credentialed dog trainers, commit to reward-based training methods, and pass a background check to offer dog training in Burlington.
Reward-based training encourages dogs to offer desired behaviors by reinforcing the behavior with something the dog likes; treats, play, or toys. Reward-based training prioritizes using the least intrusive intervention; it promotes thinking rather than punishing mistakes.
When rewards are used, the likelihood the behavior is repeated increases. The positive connection to the reward results in making learning enjoyable, strengthens the human animal bond and over time leads to consistent desired behaviors.
Training can happen many places — your home, a park, a store, or anywhere else that you and your trainer decide is best for the training you are doing! Many trainers will recommend training in your home. This allows them to observe your dog in their natural environment so they can effectively assess and best help reach your training goals.
Trainers will often mention on their profile where they typically hold training sessions, but you can always contact a trainer to learn more!
Rover makes it easy to find Burlington dog trainers to provide loving care from their own home. The background-checked, 5-star trainers you can find on Rover will work with you and your dog to build new skills and address behaviors. Dog trainers can work on:
- Puppy training, adult dog training, agility training, clicker training and advanced training.
- Behaviors such as barking, leash manners, leash reactivity, house manners, jumping, fearful behavior, anxious behavior, separation distress, recall, biting, chewing, mouthiness, potty training and resource guarding.
Of course! Having a trainer that is the right fit for both you and your pup is an important step to reaching your training goals. We recommend reaching out to any trainer that interests you. Your initial request is not final until both you and the trainer decide you want to move forward with booking.
Also, trainers may offer or require consultations. Make sure to ask trainers so you can make the best decision for you and your pet.
Many trainers on Rover indicate experience in a wide range of behaviors, from puppy training to more advanced behaviors and training types.
Review a trainer’s profile to see if their experience aligns with your needs, and if you have questions, don’t hesitate to contact them to ensure they’re the right trainer for you and your pet.
